Mrs. Winterbourne Page #5

I guess now you have to marry me.

Oh, cookie...

you could never screw up your life

as bad as I screwed up mine.

Patricia!

What are you doing here?

- Leave me alone.

- Why're you running away?

I'm not running away.

I'm leaving in a hurry.

What do you think?

This is some kind of joke show?

I wanna know where you're going.

I wanna know now!

Paco, I appreciate what you're

trying to do, but it's over.

I got things in my past that could

destroy this family.

- You're not the only one with a past.

- Bring that back!

You know what they do

to men like me in Cuba?

You got a choice between jail

and a boat in a lot of water.

I pick the water.

I came here to make myself

into a new Paco. Instead, I starve.

I do things...

I don't even wanna know

about myself.

Then Mrs. Winterbourne,

she find me, give me this job.

This job saved my life.

This family saved my life.

- They're strong.

- You don't understand.

If bad things are going to happen...

let them happen here.

The family will be there for you.

Winterbournes stick together.

And whatever else you are,

you are a Winterbourne.

That's just it. I'm not.

Listen to me!

I don't know you. I don't know where

you come from. But I know this:

You are as much a Winterbourne

as I am.

Board!

Go. Go!

- Jesus. We thought you were gone.

- How is she?

She's had another attack.

Thank goodness you're home.

Are you all right?

Oh, damn. Damn, damn, damn.

If it weren't for this body,

I'd live forever.

Now, what do you have

to say for yourself, young lady?

Grace, I don't fit in here.

Nobody fits in here.

- You do.

- But I didn't at the beginning.

Guess what I did

when I met Bill's dad.

What?

I was starring

in a hit Broadway musical.

- You're kidding?

- Yes, I was in the chorus.

It folded in one week.

But I had potential.

But...

I met Bill's father

and I fell in love.

And...

I didn't fit in here.

I made them fit me.

- I don't think I can do that.

- Yes, you can.

You can do anything.

You made Bill come to life.

I never thought I'd see

anybody do that.

Why did you run away?

Bill asked me to marry him.

Doesn't move slowly, does he?

You don't want to?

I do. But...

Darling, Hugh is gone.

And even though it hurts,

you simply must move on.

- Do you love Bill?

- Yes.

Then do it, Patricia.

The Winterbournes need

new blood like us.

Promise that you'll never take

that baby away again.

That's the one I would choose,

Patricia.

- That's pretty too.

- I think they're all stunning.

- Up, up.

- Rising, each layer.

Each layer rising separately.

- Is this the main one?

- This is.

This one has ivy.

This is so wonderful. Look at this.

- Ascending into the light...

- Exactly.

- What're you doing after this?

- What did you have in mind?

May I cut in on this one?

- You're a lucky man, Bill.

- Thank you.

I haven't had the pleasure.

You haven't?

I have.

Steve DeCunzo. You remember.

- I'm glad your mother's doing so well.

- Thank you, Steve.

Very well, then. Just one dance.

- I want her all to myself.

- You'll have to catch us first.

- What are you doing here?

- So we have met before!

- Just get away from me!

- What's wrong? Connie!

Is something bothering you, Connie?

Connie?

- Why are you here?

- I thought you were dead!

I thought my only child was dead.

That does something to a man.

I cried. I really did.

How are you?

I cried for you and for the kid...

and for how I'm pissing my life away.

I started making changes.

You'd be proud.

And then, a few weeks later...

I steal this radio

and find a People magazine.

And there's this picture

of the Winterbourne family.

And wouldn't you know it?

Their new daughter-in-law

looks just like this tramp I knew.

You sent the note!

You didn't write, but I didn't see

a reason to be insensitive.

Okay, it worked. You got me scared.

So what's next?

You're so nervous.

I just wanna congratulate you

on this great life you've...

appropriated for yourself.

The dead chick wasn't

gonna use it anymore.

And by the way,

marrying the guy's brother?

You thought of that?

That was pure genius.

Didn't know you had it in you.

Congratulations.

- That's it?

- Absolutely.

There is one thing.

My son. What role do I,

the father, have in all this?

I'll give you a goddamn role!

I'd be happy to discuss

this with your mother-in-law.

- How would her heart take my news?

- Okay. What do you want?

Come by my place tomorrow

and bring my boy.

What'd you name him?

Hugh. After the dead rich guy, right?

- That's very cute.

- Come near him and I'll kill you.

Be there tomorrow...

or I'll mess up your life so bad

you'll never see that kid again.

Not for nothing, but that

is a good look for you.

Hold it right there. Thank you.

I don't like that guy.

Do we know him?

No, but you're gonna find out.

Watch out for the sharks.

- Here you are.

- Thanks.

Hey, there's the guy!

Look at that.

Big boy. Look at that.

Look at that. That's my chin.

That's my chin.

Look what I got for you here, pal.

Look what I got for you.

- What's with him?

- He's got taste.

Come here. Come here. Come here.

So, you got a plan? Let's hear it.

I ought to tell them about this nasty

con you're pulling on them.

It's not right to let

the kid live a lie.

I should let everybody know

who he really is...

and sue for custody.

Birth fathers are winning cases

like this every day.

And look at the mother's character.

A slut con artist exploiting

a family to get money.

Mommy would never see you again.

But the problem is...

I still get nothing

and I'm stuck with a baby.

It's filled out.

Just tell me the amount.

Fifty thousand.

"Patricia Winterbourne." Very nice.

Very nice.

Thanks.

But...

that's not enough.

I have a better idea.

No, you'll like it.

An idea where everyone gets

what they want.

How many ideas do you come up with?

Not many. Wanna hear?

- Why are you asking me?

- Do you?

You take the kid out for a walk,

I'll show up and kidnap him.

I'll smack you so it looks

like you struggled.

They'll give at least a million.

That way I get a return...

for sacrificing my parental rights.

You go near that kid

and I'll call the cops.

I'll say it was your idea.

- They won't believe you.

- Why else would you pay me $50,000?

With a forged check, by the way.

- I won't hurt those people.

- They won't miss a million.

What if I just clear out?

- I'll take the kid.

- You don't want him.

But he's mine.

Aren't you, big boy?

This will kill Grace

It'll kill her.

She's gotta die sometime.

- I have to go.

- I had him laughing.

You see that?

You and the kid gonna take

a walk in the Commons tomorrow?

I'm getting married tomorrow.

So?

Hello, Steve.

What you can learn.

We've forgotten our dreams.

We've forgotten how you

can find adventure in...

Your partner's here.

I got a little change in the plan.

Instead of me taking a walk

and you stealing him...

you get out of my life,
